Nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic

I get nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic on my macbook. I'm running Maverick. Why is this happening?

Note: there may be other issues involved, but without further details I can only suggest that using headphones is the best way to accurately hear what you're recording, adjust gain levels, and avoid feedback. So this should be the first thing to try as you troubleshoot.

After using the internal mic for the first time I am getting a buzzing feedback from my audio output

Go to System Preferences Sound Input and adjust the volume level down by dragging the slider to the left. With an audio app like Logic there is an option for input monitoring when recording so there might be a feedback loop if the volume is set too high. Garage Band works in a similar way. Always be careful when using headphones as the noise can be frightful and cause hearing damage.

When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media. Any ideas on how to fix this. It only happens in fcp.

By internal, I assume you're referring to your systems (boot) drive. Is it, by chance, a partitioned dive?
Also…although many people successfully use their systems drives as scratch disks, over time you'll have better results using a dedicated drive for your media.
Good luck.

Windows Support Software Unaviable when trying to download using the assistant

I can't download the Windows 7 support software using the asistant it, the program tells me is a network error, i've read in the forums that you can use the OSX dvds but my macbookpro I bought my macbook this year and it came without any installation DVDs anyone know a workaround to this problem?

For the sake of full disclosure, I skip the Assistant part, I still use Apple drivers.
That makes it easy to clone and use Windows as 100% native as a PC.
NTFS from Paragon supports Windows in its own control panel as Startup Disk and write.
HFS from Paragon improves on AppleHFS to mount and provide read and write support.
Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Suite handles Windows 8 management.
Note that with Windows on its own drive you 'boot' from System Reserved partition for Windows, not from your Windows volume. Should be 100MB for 7 and 350MB for 8.
PLEASE, OP, read the guide etc. There are no DVDs for Lion, so it is download only.
There is a link to Boot Camp 4.0 but you really want 4.01+ Shame. Downloads take couple minutes (600MB file, so whatever your broadband can handle). That is the way it should be.
It has been crippled and can't be just a fluke.
I think most would like to download from the AppStore for free or small fee $2.99 if that would work and give you the latest and be done in 10 minutes.

Can logic express 7 record samples with the internal mic

hey im thinking about buying Logic express 7, however im am wondering if it can record samples using the internal mic, or straight off the soundcard. for example say if i liked a sound i heard on youtube and i wanted to sample that sound so i could use it in a composition, how would i be able to do this? i have been doing this with my PC using a program called Audacity but im wondering if Mac has that option or more specifically if any Logic program has that option.
would anyone be able to help me?

thanks mate, does that come with logic? or is it a separate program, if so where do i get it and how much is it?

My macbook air doesn't let me use the internal microphone

My macbook air doesn't let me use the internal microphone while my headphones are plugged in. The reason I want to use the internal mic is that the person I talk to can hear me louder if I used the internal mic. Can someone help please ASAP? Thanks.

I assume you're using the 3 slot mini jack of the Apple earbuds/ mic. Use a 2 slot headphone jack that doesn't make contact with the the microphone contact in the headset jack on the AIr.
The Air has a HEADSET jack, in which either headphones or headsets can be used.
headset jack on left, for both MIC and headset...............headphone jack for earbuds/ speakers on right (listening only)

The sound input going to the mic is not going to pipe through the speakers like that. It doesn't do it because it would cause a feedback loop on itself. The mic input will take sound and output it to a program or to another pathway (like a VoIP or Facetime call, etc.) but it won't behave like a Karaoke machine if that's what you're thinking.

Is your Apple Intel-based, poppelmacbook? If not, you should consider treating yourself to a new Mac. Last December I gave up my old because it just could not update...anything because it was not Intel-based. Updating everything on this OS to 10.9 has been confusing for me, but I just could not work with that old Mac because the updates were too smart? for my 10.6. It is upstairs now...for visiting family: games, garage band, etc.--things I never did use. Apple refurbished and purchase the extended warranty. Apple loyalist since late 1980's.

I have my iPhoto set to an external drive yesterday when it was in use the usb disconnected i now have a message saying (your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable) I have tried shutting down and restarting.

I have my iPhoto set to an external drive, when it was in use the usb disconected as i was moving my mac air, when i re-conected a message said (your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable).
I have tried shutting it down and then re opening iPhoto but get the same message.
The reason for the external drive was there was not enough room on my hard drive, I have around 7000 photos on it.
is there a simple fix?
Regards
Dale

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images and albums should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

Trying to connect my new Apple TV to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote the Apple Tv doesn't respond ( doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

Identifing duplicate master data records using the MDM Import Manager

hi all
I read the Topis "How to identify duplicate master data records using the MDM Import Manager</b>"
i tried to create import maps and to set rules. but when i import them it creates the new vendor records for each rule with rest of the fields blank.
when i import vendor data all the three fields i.e Match rate , match type and match group are blank.
My Question is :
I am getting vendor data from SAP R/3.
In which source (in lookup xml file or data xml file) do i have to include these above three fields and how all the rules will be reflected in repository?

Hi Sheetal
Here we go when do you Import any data (vendor master) please follow the following steps;
1. First of all apply the map to the source data
2. In the Match Record tab there are 3 possiblities
   a.[Remote Key] : Checks the current source rec with
     repository along with all the fields - This is
     default
   b.Remove [Remote key] - by double click the same; and
     choose any single fields like Vendor Number or
     name - Then the current record will be matched
     with the repository based on the field.
   c.Instead of single field you can choose combination
     also.
3. Based on the Match results, match class will be set
   automatically;
   a. None
   b. Single
   c. Multiple
4. Then Match Type
    a.Exact-All the individual value matches are Equal.
    b.Partial-At least one value match is Equal and at least one Undefined; no value matches are Not Equal.
    c.Conflict-At least one value match is Equal and at least one value match is Not Equal.
5. then chek the Import status and Execute the import.
Hope this helps you.
cheers
Alexander

Runtime Error 217 when trying to Record

I am using Captivate 4 on Windows XP. When I hit the Record button in Cap 4, a microphone icon displays and counts down 3-2-1, then runtime error 217 displays. Cap 4 then crashes.
I am not recording audio for this project. I am recording FMR and in Edit > Preferences > Full Motion Recording I have the Working Folder set to C:\Test.
Not sure why Cap 4 is doing this.
Can anyone make any suggestions to help me?
Thank you.
Laraine

I deleted everything in the folder then restarted Captivate 4, but still
experiencing the same problem when trying to record.
